Hi, I Recently bought a Canon SX40HS. It's fantastic! I also bought the Fuji S2950 for a gift. I tried it out and was unimpressed with the finish and optics. I paid 149USD and decided to sell on ebay for 100USD. The Canons are much nicer quality! I like Fuji, however. Just to much camera for the price, so quality suffers. Too bad the Canon has no viewfinder.
